Nov. 3rd, 2006 09:06 pmAnd next paycheck will be missing about 1h and a half. Because i had a migraine of doom, so my boss sent me back home due to shaking and not walking straight. And being unable to remember things.
Anyway.
Yesterday was interesting again. This time, as i got in, i got told that this night i finally won't have to take care of floor-stuff due to the other guy being able to drive a forklift again.
Then 15min later, i hear a bang. Turns out the main hose for the mast on one of the forklifts blew. So, they had to take back the one from floor-stuff to use in construction materials, and i ended up being sent back to the floor-stuff...
The christmas-y stuff we got is kinda interesting now. Many inflatable things. Such as a 8ft snowmen, and santa claus. I found that the compressor for these is rather strong. So you can squish them down, and they'll come right back up rather quickly. Which led to some experiments. So boxes got launched off them. I also found that if i squished the carrot-nose of the snowmen in, shoved a ball in there, then punched the snowmen in the belly, the ball would shoot all the way to the front of the store.
There's also all the singing and dancing things that are rather annoying. First time one caught me off guard, i punched it. Without breaking it, luckily. But now i have the reflex to reach for the off switch. They're rather creepy too. They're supposed to go "HoHoHo, merry christmas", and then sign stuff. But i think the motors drain a bit too much power or something, and it goes "Eeuuuuwwwueahohohoh".
They're funny when they get knocked onto the ground. Because instead of dancing, it just wiggles and moves around like a fish out of water.
There's also another interesting one. It's a dog that barks and signs songs. But the way it moves makes it slide foward along the cardboard panels they put the demonstrators on. So it progressively moves to the edge, before finally falling off onto the ground.
And we also have boxes of small battery-powered singing ones. Which all start at once when a lift bumps the pallet they're on. Christmas dog chorus!
There's also some of those inflatables decorations that all get stuck together when inflating, and end up pushing eachother off the shelves.
So it's all very fun. *grins*
